Currently, there aren't specific features for direct communication with Google outdoor cameras to measure power consumption. To gather such data, you may need to measure it yourself using smart plugs with energy monitoring capabilities to measure the power consumption of devices like cameras. Plug the camera into the smart plug, and the smart plug into an outlet. The smart plug should provide data on energy usage over time. This method may not provide battery-specific metrics but can give insights into overall power consumption. Keep in mind that power usage can vary based on factors like outdoor temperature, voltage, and other environmental conditions.
